Eagles Team Need No. 2: Tight End

Silva’s Analysis

I felt this was the Eagles’ biggest need before they signed Richard Rodgers. Rodgers catches everything, but he’s slow and doesn’t block well, so tight end remains a need. Blocker Brent Celek called it quits and Trey Burton left to start in Chicago. The Eagles make heavy usage of multi-tight end sets.

Eagles Team Need No. 3: Cornerback

Silva’s Analysis

Slot CB Patrick Robinson’s departure was an underrated loss, and RCB Ronald Darby’s contract is up after this year. LCB Jalen Mills has been a flash player lacking consistency. The Eagles do have promising young depth in Sidney Jones, Daryl Worley and Rasul Douglas. Slot corner remains a wide-open question mark and none of the outside cover guys are surefire long-term solutions.

Norris’ Mock Draft

Round 1 (32): CB Donte Jackson, LSU - Slot corner is the most immediate need for the Eagles. I could totally see them add a running back or playmaking receiver, but both are luxury choices. The Eagles have a ton of depth at outside corner, yet nothing on the inside. Jackson is super-fast and has two years of starting experience.

Round 4 (130): TE Chris Herndon, Miami - Back in March I reported Herndon would visit the Eagles. After losing Trey Burton, the fit makes so much sense for the Eagles. Herndon is a move tight end. Sure, he can line up inline, but he’s best when used in motion, as an H-back or in the slot. This tight end class is not even close to the talent of last year’s group.

Round 4 (132): WR Daurice Fountain, Northern Iowa - A non-Combine invite. The Eagles have shown interest in Fountain during the process and he presents top end athleticism and would offer downfield playmaking skills.

Round 5 (169): RB Ryan Nall, Oregon State - Evaluations for Nall fall on the third day. He tested like an above average athlete, and some teams view him as a running back, some a fullback and some an H-back. In this spot, he would fill the power/balance role for the Eagles with Blount departed and Ajayi in his final year.

Round 6 (206): LB Jermaine Carter, Maryland - A run and chase linebacker. When a lane is open, he really flies to attack ball carriers in the backfield.
